Wallabies coach Michael Cheika took the chance at the post-match press conference to speak of the significance of wearing that jersey.

“Dennis (Artist Dennis Golding) came in and explained to us the meaning of the jersey itself and I think that the team has been instrumental," he said

“We were front and centre in asking to bring the welcome to country up to the anthems stage because our team is a team that’s built on people from all different lands.

“I think it was a great opportunity to be involved in an occasion like that and it resonates with everyone and we as a union keep that going.”

Hooker Stephen Moore said he felt the win helped do the moment justice.

While it seems unlikely it would become the Wallabies’ permanent jersey, an annual outing for the unique design has plenty of merit.

Classic touch by Wallabies

Aussies aplenty in World XV

All for one and one for all?

An interesting turn of events in Australian rugby this week, in the context of collaboration and unity.

The NSW Rugby Union has entered a submission into the senate inquiry into Australian rugby, but it’s not about the decision to axe the Force.

NSWRU are looking for a governance overhaul in Australian rugby, saying ‘the existing model lacks the requisite division of responsibility’.

Among their proposals is a suggestion to allow states to determine their own governance models and take control of the allocation of funds to their community clubs and schools.

As well, the document proposed creating an ‘ARU Distribution Percentage’, to give state unions a set percentage of media and sponsorship dollars based on their participation numbers.

The submission comes in a year where Australian rugby has touted a more unified and collaborative approach.

Seventeen submissions have been entered into the enquiry, including documents from the Rugby Union Players’ Association, with a number of entries anonymous.
